When accessing the I/O-ports (there's a pin on the Z80 which indicates it)
the board switches the processor back to 3.5 MHz... Later, 'smart'
7MHz-boards (called Advanced 7MHz) appeared, which only switched back to
3.5MHz when there was VDP I/O. This way, SCSI, Memory, MoonSound etc. I/O is
all done at maximum speed.

I'd like to have the last one too (or better: 10MHz!) but I don't know where
to get it...
